CANFORD CLIFFS is given the vote to land what is always a competitive Coventry Stakes, while both No Hubris and Red Jazz are worth noting. The selection won well on his sole start at Newbury and Richard Hannon has a great strike rate with his two year olds who are always well prepared. With further improvement guaranteed to come he is one horse in the race to stay on the right side of. No Hubris was an impressive winner of a maiden at Yorks May meeting. The form of that race has worked out well and produced plenty of winners so any support in the market for him should be noted. The same can be said about Red Jazz who broke his maiden tag at Windsor before going on to win a conditions stakes at short odds at this venue last time out. He is improving well and is sure to be in the shake up, however, Canford Cliffs has been reported to be going well and is the preferred choice.
